Fender flare recall

[Champale]

Its so nice to hear that people buy their cars based on fender shape and not the incredibly upgraded engines and suspensions and better seats etc.

Would have been nice if Ford had made it easier to remove the BRaptor Flares.

10/10 idea, makes it way easier to throw them in the dumpster.

I'm sure it does. That doesn't make it look good. Again, I never said the performance was lacking. I said the aesthetics were lacking.

Your non Sasquatch big bend is also lacking in the aesthetics department sooooo

Polarizing is an understatement when it comes to the Braptor flares. I have been in the fugly camp myself. When my friend bought one, I took a ride. That sold me. Traded my 2 door SAS in on one. I had my flares color matched. Looks way better. I’ve had mine for 2 years now. I cannot drive it without someone talking to me about it or giving me a thumbs up. Usually at gas stations and stop lights. It’s become one of my favorite vehicles.

I am fortunate to have both a RRaptor and a Braptor. I don’t really care if the haters don’t like the flares. If there is a decision to take either off road, the Braptor ALWAYS wins hands down. Now, for a road trip, the RRaptor wins.

I do agree. The Braptor flares do look like the biggest afterthought since the 1991 Jeep YJ Renegade. Just seeing one initiates the gag reflex.

My parents have a Big Bend with Sasquatch and it's great in terms of proportions...maybe could use another 1 inch of ride height but overall pretty nice. I just can't get into the Raptor awnings hanging off the fenders.

OMG, I'd never heard of nor seen the atrocity that is the 1991 Jeep YJ Renegade. Ground effects much? Yes to all the things! It's making a sad face, too. I take it most of those got fed to the crusher sooner than later.

You get used to the flares and actually come to appreciate them. With the top off, I think it actually looks pretty bad "ass" from the rear (I see what you did there). But the way it drives and its overall capabilities, it's a small price to pay if they don't agree with you visually..

You get a like for including the Stroppe in that picture!

we'll have to agree to disagree

Maybe true, but running through deserts at high speed isn't something I want to do so it's kind of irrelevant. Furthermore, something being good at a task doesn't mean it can't be ugly. Braptor is ugly. I never said it's not capable.

I get it. I think the 4 door Bronco is fugly.

Hijacke, Hijack!

Very Nice! I’d agree, the paint matched fenders make a very nice change in appearance! I’ve added paint matched Side Mirror Caps and Door Handles.
The color pops very nice, I’m sure you receive many compliments!
